We’re about to go dark

National Republicans' plan is working:

GOP dark-money groups are outspending us on MASSIVE ad buys to blanket the airwaves with attack ads and crush our momentum in this race – and now, the newest poll shows Sherrod 3 points DOWN.

Even worse, with the latest Supreme Court ruling giving dark-money donors unprecedented spending power in our elections, our ability to compete in Ohio just got much, much harder.

That's why we launched ads of our own – but we’re facing a $250,000 budget gap we need to close before midnight to keep them on the air through the weekend. If we don’t see an immediate surge in grassroots support, our ads could go DARK – jeopardizing our chances of flipping this seat.

In a race this close and consequential, every dollar, every ad, and every voter we’re able to reach with our message could be the difference between sending Sherrod to the Senate and retaking the majority – or not.

So please, will you chip in $5 or more NOW to help us keep our ads on the air through the weekend, win in Ohio, and flip the Senate?

When you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work.

Hey there! It's Sherrod Brown.

There's nobody fighting for Ohioans in the U.S. Senate right now, and I won't sit on the sidelines while working people get screwed over by large corporations and wealthy political donors.

If you work hard, you should be able to afford a decent life. But the reality is, life is too expensive. Costs are going up. Wages are staying stagnant. Working people are working harder than ever before, and they're not getting their share of the profit.

This campaign is all about changing that – and election analysts say we have a strong shot at winning in November.

But I'll need your help to pull it off: My opponent is a Washington insider being propped up by the Republican establishment, and he's got virtually unlimited resources.

That's not how our campaign works. We're a grassroots movement, and that means we rely on ordinary people chipping in a couple bucks. If you're able, please make a donation of any amount today. It could be what helps us flip Ohio and the Senate.

Thank you.
